Reynolds dismisses EU split with Burnham after warning of business ‘uncertainty’

U.K. Business Secretary Jonathan Reynolds supports Prime Minister Andy Burnham's push for closer EU ties, despite previously cautioning against reopening Brexit discussions due to potential business uncertainty. At the Labour conference, Reynolds acknowledged that rejoining the EU's customs union could lead to regulatory alignment but expressed concerns about the ongoing constitutional debates creating instability for businesses. When questioned about Burnham's focus on Europe, Reynolds affirmed his agreement with the Prime Minister's stance.
